“Convert the NIST files in my Downloads folder to FLAC”
Or run it yourself:
filestarcli -i file.nist -c "convert to flac"
Runs in Filestar's cloud and needs a Filestar plan.
Can my AI agent convert NIST to FLAC?
Yes, with a paid Filestar plan: this skill runs in Filestar's cloud. Install the Filestar CLI with npm install -g filestar and your agent can run filestarcli -i file.nist -c "convert to flac".
SPHERE (SPeech HEader Resources) is a file format defined by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and is used with speech audio. SoX can read these files when they contain μ-law and PCM data. It will ignore any header information that says the data is compressed using shorten compression and will treat the data as either μ-law or PCM. This will allow SoX and the command line shorten program to be run together using pipes to encompasses the data and then pass the result to SoX for processing.
A FLAC file is an audio file compressed in the Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) format, which is an open source lossless audio compression format. It is similar to an .MP3 file, but is compressed without any loss in quality or loss of any original audio data.
